Burlington Strike, 1888 -- Fiction; Strikes and lockouts -- Fiction
_By_ GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL, _author of "Pawnee Hero Stories," "Blackfoot
Lodge Tales," etc._
Only an author qualified by personal experience could offer us a
profitable study of a race so alien from our own as is the Indian in
thought, feeling, and culture. Only long association with Indians can
enable a white man measurably to comprehend their thoughts and enter
into their feelings. Such association has been Mr. Grinnell's.--_New
York Sun._

WINDYHAUGH.
_A Novel. By_ GRAHAM TRAVERS, _author of "Mona Maclean. Medical
Student," "Fellow Travellers," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50_.
"Windyhaugh" shows an infinitely more mature skill and more subtle
humor than "Mona Maclean" and a profounder insight into life. The
psychology in Dr. Todd's remarkable book is all of the right kind;
and there is not in English fiction a more careful and penetrating
analysis of the evolution of a woman's mind than is given in
Wilhelmina Galbraith; but "Windyhaugh" is not a book in which there
is only one "star" and a crowd of "supers." Every character is
limned with a conscientious care that bespeaks the true artist, and
the analytical interest of the novel is rigorously kept in its
proper place and is only one element in a delightful story. It is a
supremely interesting and wholesome book, and in an age when
excellence of technique has reached a remarkable level, "Windyhaugh"
compels admiration for its brilliancy of style. Dr. Todd paints on a
large canvas, but she has a true sense of proportion.--_Blackwood's
Magazine._
For truth to life, for adherence to a clear line of action, for arrival
at the point toward which it has aimed from the first, such a book as
"Windyhaugh" must be judged remarkable. There is vigor and brilliancy.
It is a book that must be read from the beginning to the end and that it
is a satisfaction to have read.--_Boston Journal._
Its easy style, its natural characters, and its general tone of
earnestness assure its author a high rank among contemporary
novelists.--_Chicago Tribune._
MONA MACLEAN.
_Medical Student. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents. Cloth, $1.00._
A pleasure in store for you if you have not read this volume. The author
has given us a thoroughly natural series of events, and drawn her
characters like an artist. It is the story of a woman's struggles with
her own soul. She is a woman of resource, a strong woman, and her career
is interesting from beginning to end.--_New York Herald._
"Mona Maclean" is a bright, healthful, winning story.--_New York Mail
and Express._
A high-bred comedy.--_New York Times._
FELLOW TRAVELLERS.
_12mo. Paper, 50 cents. Cloth, $1.00._
The stories are well told; the literary style is above the average, and
the character drawing is to be particularly praised. ... Altogether, the
little book is a model of its kind, and its reading will give pleasure
to people of taste.--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._
